Hi Jirka, Thanks for the help. However, it seems for my Case, the Connection is /3 if I put the wifi start config into /etc/NetworkManager/system-connection, but it has to change to /1 if I remove those wifi start config and just put modem start config in /system-connection. In addition, the device objpath is changed to: /org/freedesktop/ > > NetworkManager/Devices/1. (wifi is on /0). >
So, my question is: How can I dynamically know the device objpath and connection objpath? Is there any signal or callback function or dbus method call to get the modem device objpath and modem connection objpath? How can I write a simple program to get these information? thanks a lot Xiaohong On Fri, Sep 17, 2010 at 1:07 AM, Jirka Klimes <jkli...@redhat.com> wrote: > On Wednesday 15 of September 2010 23:49:56 hong sheng wrote: > > Hi > > > > I would skip the networkmanager applet in our platform.
